The standard bearer of the Social Democratic Front (SDF), Joshua Osih, on Monday said Cameroun’s President Biya is ”the only one responsible” for the ongoing war declared on the good people of Southern Cameroons-Ambazonia. Osih is expected to challenge Biya in upcoming presidential elections slated for October 7.
Having hailed from the troubled territory of Southern Cameroons, Osih himself is an indigene of Ambazonia and the political upheaval which has befallen the territory since 2016 must be close to his heart.
Before the end of 2017, what initially started as grievance among teachers and lawyers of the Southern Cameroons extraction, had already morphed into an armed encounter between Cameroun’s military and Ambazonia Defence Forces (ADF). Hundreds of civilians are being killed, villages ransacked and razed to the ground, women, and girls raped by soldiers of the Cameroun armed forces and 200,000 people have fled their homes into the bushes and neighbouring Nigeria as refugees.
Taking direct aim at the octogenarian despot, Osih has this to say ”We have a problem with the system and this system has meant we do not have simple political solutions to simple problems. We have a president who does not understand what is happening in Cameroon, who spends most of his time abroad and who thinks that sending the army as he did in the 1960s with UPC can solve this problem. He can’t.”
The legitimacy of the October 7 polls hangs in the balance as Restoration Forces have strongly warned organizers against its conducting the ballot across Southern Cameroons. Osih alongside 7 others will challenge Paul Biya who is seeking his seventh term.
For the first time since the formation of the SDF party in the 1990s, Joshua Osih will be on the party’s ticket which has been graced by chairman John Fru Ndi.

I’m very sorry Mr SDF,
you are still in your slumber, I will take this as you trying to wake up yourself.
Today is 8-21-2018.
You are suppose to be telling yourself and your SDF people that new, not us Ambazonians. Keep trying, maybe you guys will finally wake up.
But surely, when bullets start bouncing everywhere 24/7, you will definitely wake up whether you want it or not.

Ur fund raising was a shame, no 200 k raised, ur presse conference, a total disgrace, even baraliar couldn’t make an article abt it, John mbah Akuroh couldn’t have the courage to stay still the end n gives us nbre as claimed earlier.

I’m so sorry for u, wat happened to the force of arguments George? U got the msg n were unable to debunk it so u have to result to grammar classes. We r still waiting for Akuroh to tell us abt the geant fund raising 😂😂😂😂😂. Ambanetland is the only country in the world where his president go out to martch, beg scream n cry in the garden of another president to give him a country. U people don’t know shame. U shouldn’t even being talking at all.
My brother @Shillah this march was a total disgrace. How on earth did they choose to march on weekend? No media cover at all.
No offense Mark,why do you have to mention this crooked mini lrc party on social media, Oshi cannot bring any change to Ambazonians,he will just be another french puppet,when SCs people are dying, the SDF has done no humanitarian to the hundreds of refugees,biya is still killing the people yet the SDF is powerless to stop all the carnage but going about campaigning to prop biya’s lrc advance democratic country,SCs have been naive and gullible for a long time,they need to wake up to their naivety, cowardice and fight for their freedom themselves instead of relying on deceitful old fake party SDF
